Nonplace Soundtracks assembles twenty-five incidental instrumentals composed by Burnt Friedman (born Bernd Friedmann) and/or Hayden Chisholm over thirty-six-and-a-half minutes. The pieces, created for film, television or some other moving visual, are credited variously to Friedman, his and Chisholm´s quasi-dub developmental research team The Embassadors, Flanger (his duo with Uwe Schmidt aka Atom™), duets with guitarist Joseph Suchy, and Chisholm´s band Root 70. Although brief, the is no rush to the compilation, as the twenty-five Nonplace Soundtracks, some mere clues running sixty seconds or less, others “stretched out” to a full two or two and a half minutes, features swathes of bongo non-frenzy, ambient iciness, warm, cigarette breath of clarinet, short short circuits, soft lounging jazz, wah-wah chamber Western, Hassell-like funeral march and weepy violin, all cosily nesting side by side. Happily, it is said to be the first in a series.
